You can never have too much chocolate in a recipe, right? With chocolate chips inside the chocolate muffin, the game of muffin making’s been changed!
Once again, I was craving some chocolate. Is that a surprise? Seems like the majority of this year I’ve been craving chocolate. I was thinking a chocolate chip muffin would do the trick.
But it couldn’t be just a vanilla muffin with chocolate chips, it had to be a chocolate flavored muffin with chocolate chips IN it! Yeah.
Just. plain. yum.
The doggie likes to be with me whenever I take my pictures. Ok, and whenever I’m baking in the kitchen. He watches me like a hawk, forever ready to leap at the first sight of something hitting the floor or waiting for the gift of a handout.
SAVE THIS CHOCOLATE CHIPS MUFFIN RECIPE TO YOUR FAVORITE PINTEREST BOARD!
I left the SD card in the computer my husband took to work, hence the pictures of the finished product and none of the process. That’s ok. I like looking at these anyway. It’s almost as good as eating them. Saves you on the calories, anyway.
This comes to us from the Brown Eyed Baker which she found in Dorie Greenspan’s book, Baking: From My Home to Yours. Thanks, Michelle!

Chocolate Chip Muffins
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons Butter (3/4 stick)
- 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 2 cups flour
- ⅔ cup sugar
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat it to 375 degrees. Place muffin cups into a 12-inch muffin tin and place on a baking sheet.
- In a medium bowl placed over a small pan of simmering water, melt the butter and 1/2 of the chopped chocolate. Remove from heat.
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the buttermilk, egg, and vanilla. Mix until combined.
- Add the buttermilk mixture and the chocolate mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir quickly and gently with a rubber spatula being careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the remaining chopped chocolate. Fill the muffin cups 2/3 full.
- Bake for 20 minutes until a cake tester is inserted and comes out clean. Allow the pan to cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before removing the muffins from the tin.
I rate everything I bake on a scale from 1-4 and these Chocolate Chocolate Chip Muffins earned 3 rolling pins.
I loved the bittersweet chocolate chunks, but I think the only thing that held me back from rating these higher was that I was hoping for a fudgier muffin.
It was more like cake and I am SO into chocolate fudgy brownies. Don’t get me wrong though, these were very good and did satisfy my chocolate craving.
Whether it’s to snack on after dinner, or that first thing you eat for your day, these Blueberry Cornmeal Muffins are the real deal.
I don’t think anyone can resist this recipe of Cinnamon Roll Muffins. I know I can’t!

Brady and Sadie really are two peas in a pod. She is always watching me like a hawk in the kitchen and frequently gets her nose in the photos. These muffins are perfection! Double chocolate is just my style. Can’t believe you’re almost at 365! Wow!!!
